Penny asked: Are gendered emails a thing? I’m not sure. In the past month I’ve received 4 abject apology emails (only one of them was warranted), and 2 emails overexplaining that they weren’t able to deliver the expected work on time because of a death in the family, and because of toddlers running them ragged. They were all from men. That was an interesting sample set but I’m not sure that it’s representative.

Did you ever have your Sliding Doors moment like the ONLs did? I see how this has happened with my friends who stayed in the expensive NYC / Boston metro areas – nannies, 5000+ square foot estates, and all that fun stuff. They can afford it on their massive incomes but I don’t know whether they can afford that PLUS the kind of retirement they might want to have, without working.
